Review: Bushnell Neo Ghost GPS

Once you get it to the course, you hit the power button, select to play golf and wait about 25 seconds to select the course you are playing.  It will give you the yardage to center, front and back from every shot you hit.  If you want to know some bunker distances you just need to hit select and it will show whatever hazards are on that hole.  After you hit the ball, if you want to see how far you bombed that drive, just hit the shot button.  It starts counting yards as you walk.  Once you arrive at your ball you can brag about how far you hit it, then just hit select again and it goes back to yards remaining to the pin.  Once you finish a hole it will auto advance to the next.  If you end up in any weird spots on the course, you can always manual advance holes with the up or down arrow.

The Bushnell Neo Ghost comes with a belt clip so you can wear it if you want, I prefer to strap it into my Clicgear score card holder.  It is always right where I want it during my round and the buttons were still easy to use.  One feature that I would make sure to turn off is the “Auto-off”.  It seems like a good idea to conserve battery, but rebooting it during your round takes too long.   But that does mean you need to manually power it off after your round or your battery will be dead the next time you want to use the GPS.  I found that if I turned it off after each round, I got 4+ rounds on one charge.  This is pretty impressive for a GPS, but still the downside compared to laser.
